Residue recovery approaches are essential to achieving more green production in seafood industry. Chitosan is a biopolymer with multiple purposes in sectors such as agriculture, foodindustry, cosmetics, water treatment systems, among others. Wastes from the shellfish
industry can be employed in the synthesis of chitosan, turn out to be an alternative for waste recovery. One of the alternative uses of chitosan is as precursor for the production of modified bioadsorbents for removing pollutants. In this work, the environmental assessment of the production process on an industrial scale of chitosan microbead modified with magnetite nanoparticles and thiourea was developed for evaluating the posible environmental impacts. The software Aspen Plus® was used for the process simulation, that allows the quantification of mass flows and estimation of properties. The environmental evaluation was done by using the WAste Reduction (WAR) algorithm, through the WAR GUI software. The results showed that the process consumes potential environmental impacts (PEI), obtaining a positive value of 1,870 PEI/h. The categories related to toxicological impacts (HTPI, HTPE, TTP and ATP) presented lower values than the related to atmospheric impacts (GWP, ODP, PCOP and AP), with the greatest contribution being human toxicity by ingestion (HTPI) and toxicity terrestrial potential (TTP), which are associated with the median lethal dose (LD50) of the compounds involved in the process. PEI consumption was determined by using as energetic source natural gas.
